Seeking the healing power of sleep, <br />I find no respite in my dreams... <br />Sinking into slumber deep, <br />It's not so restful as it seems. <br /> <br />Agony's relived time and again, <br />Magnified by the helplessness <br />I feel in my dreams and then <br />I mourn lost love and happiness <br /> <br />I find more relief in time than sleep, <br />Although I still relive my loss, <br />I feel the pain less acutely, <br />Still there, but not as it once was.<br /><br />Karl Stuart Kline<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1-5-seeking-the-healing-power-of-sleep/
